2009

It's been a long year. Tiring emotional-draining one.

Year 2009. I have lost someone to another, I have lost someone to heaven, I have lost so many other things. And that they've chose to come one after another without giving me a break to breathe. And I thought I would break down and never stand up again. This year is like a downpour, a roller coaster ride. The worst of all, and yet the best of all my eighteen years.

Everyone says only with mistakes or obstacles, then you will learn and gain more. Now I truly understand it. Through all these, I guessed I only emerged stronger. I fought for someone I loved, but still lost it in the end. At least I tried achieving, but it always take both sides to fight together, I end up feeling tired and realised he would rather I'd not fight.

SNX. I learn that life is so fragile. Experienced how it felt when you were holding in your hands when it was taking its last few breathes, I remembered how my tears were just flowing uncontrolled. Worse when you don't dare to cry afterwards. It only takes awhile for me to fall in love with something I thought I would never have, and it takes a long time to recover from that pain when you lose it forever. I'm not comfortable talking about it. But nevertheless, it was not a regret.

Good things that I've been through this year. I left home for six weeks to live without depending on my family. That is one big experience. Big enough to cover up all tiny sadness. I travelled, went and see many places this year, realised so many life values. And, another big thing! I found out that I've slowly learn to love whatever I'm studying.

I guess I still miss S alot, and I guess I still love him. But he's not the same person at all. Same name looks the same. When the 'Happy Birthday' email came in, I felt nothing, like he was just another friend I know. The S I've been thinking about is gone, only remisnicing the one I used to know. It's confusing and strange. It feels as if he died.

Flexi-resolution

I shall not do a resolution of things that I will evetually forget and not complete, again. It's always been like this.
Things that I feel like doing, stuff that I want. My flexi-resolution. (Not necessary to complete if interest lacks, no obligations or whatsoever) (Can be brought forward to following year)

Me shall get up straight away when wake up in mornings.
Me shall make better use of time.

Me shall stop snacking

Me shall eat more fruits and vegetables

Me shall not give in to Joijoi Changbeer Lily's evil food temptations

Me shall learn how to cook wonderful dishes

Me shall put up photos into the laptop and start loading them on the net (But then again I dont think my cousins would like to see their young unglam photos, right?)

Me shall not drink (Thinking about the nasty hangover I had last week brrr)

Me shall start saving up for all the books listed above, and for a backpack (Plain, dark blue Dickies. I'm almost saving up enough!) and clothes. And many many others. (Inclusive of any other stuff that comes up to my mind in the midst of the year)

Go get some laughs

Went ahead to watch Storm Warriors despite the need for studying over the weekend.

Effects were breathtaking, very good work for that. But it's one noisy movie.

When a sword fight began, with sound effects so loud and piercing into your ear drums. It was immediately a big turn-off, I covered half of my ears throughout except when there's talking, which is like 1/8 of the whole show. Maybe this is why I find it so hard to concentrate and found other sources of entertainment. Like laughing at the ridiculous details.

Names had it going first. They sound really good in Chinese. But in English, nah. Lord Godless. Wow, I thought the translation was bad enough. Until pretty Charlene Choi appeared. And guess what. 第二梦 her name, 'Second Dream'. And that triggered it, I was controlling my laughter whenever her name appears in the subtitles.

I know they don't have David Gan at that time, or your friendly $10 QB House, but their hairdos were absolutely out of place, fizzy long damaged hair.

Only exception was Aaron Kwok aka Cloud. He was the only one with shiny curly perm that dazzles on screen, and will you go Wow when he shows off his sword moves and his perm goes Whish whish whish. His hairdo never goes out of place even after he gets slammed into a cave wall. Made me jealous and wonder what hair spray did he use.

While half the cast in the movie had hair in their face, the other half had them bun up high on their heads reminding me of mushrooms.

There was this character Lord Wicked (another laugh out loud name) His hair was covering his face 90 percent I could not tell who he is, forgive him, as he had his arms chopped off when he could not forgive himself for losing control and killed too many farmers. Probably he couldn't see what happened at the end of the day, and appears at some scenes to speak profound Chinese that left me Huh?

Ekin Cheng aka Wind, turns to demonic powers to defeat Lord Godless. And could not control the devil in him. But the devil in him had his body turned so pale and bruised, into some beautiful colour that will have Edward Cullen nervous.

They create unknown Chinese words and name it after whatever they like, it's not as if it sounds good, it doesn't. This probably had some Chinese teachers breaking out in cold sweat.

Only two female cast, and both are 'flower vases'. Only talk little and gets injured/die. But they are the reason why the men in the movie can have that energy spur even after they get slammed around for hundreds of times.

And they run off to a tomb and have a tug-of-war with some bone (Very small for it to be from a dragon) Lord Godless demostrates how dangerous it is for us without a spine and teaches us never to wear something so heavy while engaging in a fight for your life.

Ended off with some cliff diving, breaking the rules of Mother Nature's gravitational force.

Overall, meaningless movie, adrupt ending. But I have to say, effects were good, the producers really know how to weigh their odds. Without the great effects and all the Shing shing shing of swords that made the movie-goers(not me) so involved, this movie would have been a total total failure. Sticking to the comics will be doing justice to the writers.

Storm riders when I was 7 was so much better. And, the two hunks looks less older.

Yada yada.

I don't give a damn about anything that has to do with that-thing anymore. WHATEVER!

I'll stay merry and be even merrier now, there's be no worries for lines to be drawn because its never going to happen again. Can't wait for papers to end and meet Neh-neh for movie after that.

Yo ho, Christmas is nearing! I love you both v much, even though we're all quite unhappy now, it will only get better :):)

Starbucks on the house!

It's the time of the year again when Starbucks is giving away free tall drinks, in collaboration with The Salvation Army.

Tomorrow, 3 December 2009, 5-7pm.

Go down to Starbucks to get your free coffee and make a donation as well! Make Christmas better for yourself and everyone around you :)

Let me think which drink should I have, hmm..
